WORK-BENCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,511, datedSeptember 24, 1889.

Application filed June 14., 1889. Serial No. 314,214. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL A. SEAT, MOR- GAN W. PERKINS, and JOHN T.TooLoosE, citizens of the United States, residing at Hematite, in thecounty of Jefferson and State of Missouri, have invented a new anduseful WVork-Bench, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in work-benches; and it consistsin certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of ourimproved workbench, showing a wheel supported thereon.

I; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view.

111 carrying out our invention we secure to the wall of the Work-shop orany other suit able fixed support a circular base-plate A,

having an annular groove B in its front side and provided at properpoints of its periphery with the perforated lugs or bosses O. Aset-screw D is mounted in this base-plate at any convenient point, andis adapted to clamp the rotary plate therein, as will be hereinaftermore fully described. A cap or retainingplate E is arranged over thebase-plate to hold the rotary plate thereon, and the said cap consists,essentially, of a ring provided with 0 perforated lugs or bosses F,through which and the lugs O securing bolts are inserted into the fixedsupport, so as to clamp the cap and the base-plate together and also tothe said support.

3 5 The wheel-support consists of the circular rotary plate G and thearm H, extending therefrom. The rotary plate is of a proper diameter tofit in the annular groove B of the baseplate A, and is provided on itsouter side with 40 an annular shoulder I, which is engaged by the cap orretaining-plate, so as to prevent the said rotary plate falling from itsposit-ion. Said rotary plate is provided on its outer side and near itsedge with a socket J, and the 5 arm II is secured in and projectsoutwardv from the said socket. The said supportingarm II may beconstructed of any suitable material, preferably, however, of metal, inorder to secure strength, and is of proper length to support a wheel andallow the same to turn easily without coming in contact with the ro taryplate. At its free end the supportingarm H is provided with a spindle orrod K, which is adapted to receive the hub of the wheel, and is providedat its ends with the nuts L, whereby the hub may be clamped secnrely onthe said spindle or rod.

In practice the hub of the wheel is secured on the spindle K, and therotary plate is moved around so as to bring the supporting- 6o arm intoproper position to enable the work-' man to operate conveniently on thehub, and the set-screw B is then turned up against the rotary plate, soas to clamp it firmly into position and prevent its moving under theblows imparted thereto while making the wheel. The spokes are thendriven into the hub and the felly and tire fitted on the spokes, so asto make the wheel.

It will be observed that we have provided a device by the use of whichwheels can be very rapidly made, as the handling of the wheel isconsiderably facilitated and a saving in time consequently effected. Thehub can be rotated on the spindle so as to bring 7 5 the desired portionin front of the workman, and the rotary plate can be easily turned so asto bring the supporting-arm, and consequently the wheel, into theposition most convenient to the operator. 8c

The device is very simple and its advantages are thought to be obvious.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. A workbench consisting of a base-plate,

a rotary plate supported thereby, and a supporting-arm projecting fromthe rotary plate, as set forth.

2. The combination of the base-plate, the rotary plate supported therebyand having a supporting-arm extending from its outer side, and theset-screw mounted in the base-plate and adapted to bind on the rotaryplate, as set forth.

The combination of the base-plate, the rotary plate supported thereby,the support ing-arm projecting from the rotary plate, and

the spindle at the free end of the supportingarm, as set forth.

4. The combination of the base-plate having an annular groove B, therotary plate fitting in said groove and having an annular shoulder I,and the retaining-plate fitting over said annular shoulder and securedto the base-plate, as set forth.

In testimony that We claim the foregoingias SAMUEL A. SEAT. MORGAN W.PERKINS. JOHN T. TOOLOOSE.
